NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) has created some playful posters depicting a future where man can holiday on other planets. Like Luke Skywalker's planet "Tatooine" in Star Wars, Kepler-16b orbits a pair of stars. Depicted here as a terrestrial planet, Kepler-16b might also be a gas giant like Saturn.

But the discovery indicates that the movie's iconic double-sunset is anything but science fiction. (NASA / Rex Features)
